YouTube Transcript

in this scenario will demonstrate the

00:04

role of the marketing manager using

00:06

dynamics 365 business central in this

00:10

scenario we will show you how to do

00:12

research using applications within

00:14

Microsoft how to create a campaign

00:18

select a target audience initiate the

00:21

campaign and then track the responses so

00:26

let's assume that the marketing team or

00:28

the marketing manager begins any

00:29

campaign or any product launch through

00:31

research and investigation of the

00:33

business through company personnel and

00:35

company successes and failures this is

00:39

essential before investigating or

00:40

investing in any campaign or promotion

00:42

or the launch of a new product here I am

00:47

logged in to Dynamics 365 and again the

00:50

marketing manager knows there are other

00:52

tools and resources from Microsoft cloud

00:54

apps to complete his or her job and with

00:57

a single click I can log in to those

01:00

other apps in my cloud applications and

01:03

I'm going to open up Microsoft teams

01:04

right Microsoft teams if you're not

01:07

familiar with it it's a hub for teamwork

01:09

it's where all your content tools people

01:11

and conversations are available in the

01:14

teamwork space and with teams dedicated

01:17

for things like corporate marketing

01:19

operations sales great product

01:21

development right each department can

01:23

better collaborate with internal and

01:26

external team members I'm going to go

01:27

ahead and open up or expand a marketing

01:30

and you'll see here that a dialogue or

01:32

conversation has begun there are

01:34

documents and files that can be embedded

01:36

in conversations as a natural part of

01:39

that organization and so here you see

01:41

I've got a campaign it was uploaded to

01:44

the file library by way of the business

01:47

central so you can see I opened this up

01:49

here and this is actually a campaign

01:50

report that was generated from Dynamics

01:53

365 business central so I can close out

01:57

of that I get a guess a sense of some of

01:58

the other previous campaigns we've run

02:00

and if I select on the files

02:03

I'll see here again the top 10 inventory

02:06

report so maybe I want to understand

02:08

what's selling in the market today based

02:11

on inventory

02:12

and then I might want to have a

02:14

conversation with the team so again I'm

02:15

in teams and I'll type in hey great

02:20

opportunity learn about the success of

02:21

our products and then someone else Ally

02:24

reviews hey thanks to the Microsoft

02:26

cloud great job

02:27

I'll select here will open up in

02:29

SharePoint and that now I have all those

02:33

files available me and SharePoint

02:35

open up OneNote - we can document some

02:38

of the new campaigns and meetings and

02:40

then I can toggle to business dynamics

02:44

365 business central next I'll create

02:48

the campaign so I'll select new campaign

02:52

type in a description we'll select the

02:55

status code as the - kind of a planned

02:57

event right now and I'll enter in the

03:00

start date end date initiating campaign

03:03

is as simple and it just requires a few

03:04

clicks

03:05

now I got the campaign started I need to

03:09

select my target audience so we'll go

03:10

ahead and select segments I've got a new

03:13

segment here we'll call it the visitors

03:15

from a trade show and then let me go

03:17

ahead and add the contacts we'll scroll

03:19

down a number of different ways in which

03:22

you can filter or target the criteria

03:24

and we'll go ahead and just select our

03:27

customers and I clicked ok and that

03:30

brought in our customers and I'll close

03:34

that out you'll notice that I've got

03:35

attachment so over here on the right

03:36

hand side they can be unique or they can

03:38

be inherited by the the campaign itself

03:41

and then next is I need to activate the

03:45

campaign so we'll go ahead and activate

03:48

that in the campaigns I'll select

03:50

process activate it you can assign

03:53

different pricing for it or you could

03:56

choose not to but anyway I'll go ahead

03:57

and activate that campaign and we're

03:59

ready to go I'll select on the segment

04:02

and then I'll log this and then you'll

04:06

start to see that I could send these

04:08

attachments out if I want I can create a

04:10

follow-up to this segment I left that

04:13

blank for now and then we could preview

04:15

the attachment and see that we've

04:18

included a white paper to send out with

04:20

this campaign as a follow-up - and now

04:23

I'm ready to hit the send button I hit

04:24

OK

04:26

that's been logged and sent out to those

04:28

recipients and then the last step is to

04:31

track the campaign so I come over here

04:34

and my tile is has active select the

04:36

active campaigns it's the one for the

04:38

trade show

04:39

I'll hit process statistics I can track

04:42

my cost my response rates the receive

04:44

rates all the targeted contacts and etc

04:49

and then I can go to my report check out

04:52

the campaign details that we saw earlier

04:54

again I've got a can report here

04:56

available to me for review so again the

04:59

purpose of that was just to show you the

05:01

very light campaign management the role

05:04

of the marketing manager and to show you

05:06

some of the capabilities that go beyond

05:09

I think traditional barriers of an

05:11

accounting system
